Thank you to Penguin Teen for an advanced copy of this book!

Bittersweet in the Hollow is Practical Magic meets Appalachia. In this captivating mystery, Linden and her sisters journey to find a killer in Caball Hollow. Is it the Moth-Winged Man? Is it one of their own? All four girls have special abilities that aid them in their investigation. I was on the edge of my seat throughout this book. I couldn't get enough of the food, the witchcraft, and the beautiful scenery. Even though it takes place in the summer in the mountains, it is the perfect Fall read. 5/5 I want to re-read it again and again.
